sometimes it helps to clear out your temp internet files and cookies.

Thumbs up resolved.... This is how:

Thx, everyone for your input! But I just figured it out! This is how to 'fix' the problem:

Disable the options "Automatically detect settings" and "Use automatic configuration script."
To do this:
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Click "Tools," and then click "Internet Options."
3. Click "Connections," and then click "LAN Settings."
4. Make sure the check boxes for "Automatically detect settings" and "Use automatic configuration script" are not selected.
